In reference to holding the title, George jokingly told People, "There's a lot of pressure. There are all the events you have to show up for. The sash you have to wear...is embarrassing." Clooney also said, "This one's going to be hard for Brad [Pitt] since he's been Sexiest Man Alive twice. He's enjoyed that mantle. I'd say 'Sexiest Man Alive' to him and he'd go, 'Two-time.' So that's been taken away. We used to call him Two Time. So Brad's going to be upset."

Any women out there hoping to become Mrs. Sexiest Man Alive will be disappointed. In his interview with People, Clooney said, "I've been married. It's not something I'm looking out for. The truth is, I'm really happy."
